Genome analyses predict that the cofactor cobalamin (vitamin B12, called B12 herein) is
produced by only one-third of all prokaryotes but almost all encode at least one B12 …

Deep oligotrophic lakes sustain large populations of the class Nitrososphaeria
(Thaumarchaeota) in their hypolimnion. They are thought to be the key ammonia oxidizers in …

The availability of alginate, an abundant macroalgal polysaccharide, induces compositional
and functional responses among marine microbes, but these dynamics have not been …

Despite advances regarding the microbial and organic-molecular impact on nucleation, the
formation of dolomite in sedimentary environments is still incompletely understood. Since …

Background and objective Aptamers or chemical antibodies are oligonucleotides (DNA or
RNA) that are able to bind to various targets with high specificity and affinity such as toxins …

Phytoplankton spring blooms are typical features in coastal seas and provide heterotrophic
bacteria with a rich blend of dissolved substrates. However, they are difficult to study in …

We provide bacterial 16S rRNA community and hydrochemical data from water and
sediments of Lake Neusiedl, Austria. The sediments were retrieved at 5 cm intervals from 30 …

By now, only limited information on the Roseobacter group thriving at the seafloor is
available. Hence, the current study was conducted to determine their abundance and …

Polysaccharide particles are important substrates and microhabitats for marine bacteria.
However, substrate‐specific bacterial dynamics in mixtures of particle types with different …

Deciphering the ecological traits of abundant marine bacteria is a major challenge in marine
microbial ecology. In the current study, we linked compositional and functional predictions to …
